1. HOW IMPORTANT ARE

3. REFERENCES ARE STILL VERY
IMPORTANT AND MUST BE PROVIDED

4. If you are unsure if providing
references is still important, the
answer is most certainly yes.

5. In the modern information age,
providing references may be more
important than ever.

6. Because employers are able to
contact and verify references more
easily than ever, it's a good idea to
provide names and numbers of
employers that have a positive
opinion of your work performance.

7. The more experience and prestige that you can muster in
this critical area, the better your chances at being hired
for the position you are applying for.

8. WHICH ELEMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY FOR A RESUME WITH REFERENCES?

9. Reliable references are definitely a
high priority and the references
that you provide should be based
upon the following criteria:
 A full description of all previous
jobs that are relevant to the
present position you are
applying for.

10. • A complete list of all the duties
you performed in the course of
these jobs.
• All information that will lead
to a confirmation and
verification that you did
indeed hold these jobs and
perform these specific duties.

11. • A full description of any special
recognition (job titles,
promotions, awards) that you
may have received as a result
of holding these jobs and
performing these duties.

12. REFERENCE CHECKS ARE STILL A CRUCIAL
FACTOR IN AN EMPLOYER'S DECISION

13. It's important to note that
reference checks still play a
major part in an employer's
decision to hire a potential
applicant.

14. This means that it's imperative
that you provide reliable and
up-to-date contact information
for your past supervisors.

15. A hiring manager will naturally
want to know what kind of
employee you were. Any and all
positive information that a
reference can give you will be
useful.

16. YOU NEED TO SHOW THAT YOU CAN
THRIVE IN A NEW WORK ENVIRONMENT

17. There are other factors that
come into play here, such as the
sort of duties you performed,
and under what kind of
conditions you performed them.

18. The "culture" of a work environment is an element that
a modern employer will scrutinize closely.

19. This is because work culture is
an intangible element that is
becoming more and more
specialized to a specific
environment in a specific
industry.

20. Your prospective employer will
want to make absolutely sure
that you come from - and can
function in - a work environment
that is similar enough to the one
they currently manage in their
own office.

21. If you can show that you are
able and likely to survive in this
new atmosphere, you will have
a much better chance of
securing the position for which
you are applying.
